In cash terms the typical CT19 6 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 218%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT19 6 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+27.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT19 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.4% | 0.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 43 CT19 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 177 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around CT19 6
CT19 6 falls under Folkestone and Hythe, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,161 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £793 a month here against £1,699 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Folkestone and Hythe
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, which against the £270,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market CT19 6 is
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT19 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

What another bedroom costs in CT
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CT area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
